2 Kings 13:13

Biblical Context

Joash dies and is buried among the kings of Israel, while Jeroboam remains seated on the throne.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this verse lies a map of your inner kingdom. Joash represents a kingly pattern that has lived through a season and now dies, and Jeroboam sits on the throne as the outward manager of life. But Neville teaches that your real ruler is the I AM—the awareness that never ceases, that remains on the throne as your true identity. When you imagine the old king dying, you are simply letting a former self pass into memory, not annihilating your present power. The burial among the kings signals that these figures belong to your inner history; they no longer govern your day. The Kingdom of God is the living, present consciousness that continues to reign in the center of your mind. By quieting the mind and aligning with I AM, you place the throne on your own awareness, and the external succession becomes a reflection of your inner supremacy. Claim now that you are the king of this inner Israel, and watch as life rearranges to fit that realization.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise the scene: I AM sits enthroned on the throne of your mind in Samaria; the old king Joash dies and is buried among the kings; declare and feel, 'I AM the King of this inner realm' until it becomes real.
